Bella Hadid slammed Dolce & Gabbana after seeing the fashion house’s male model lineup for Milan Fashion Week.
The supermodel took to the Instagram comment section of fashion creator Elias Medini, who, himself, was critiquing Dolce & Gabbana in a video.
“Shocked people actually support this company still it’s embarrassing,” Hadid wrote. “Models / stylists/ casting the whole damn thing.”
She then followed up in a second comment, “beeeen cancelled…. years of racism sexism bigotry xenophobia … how are we shocked still?”
In his video, Medini noted the brand’s fall/winter men’s show for Milan Fashion Week was titled “The Portrait of a Man,” but the only models who were cast appeared to be white. He pointed out that there didn’t seem to be “one single Asian, not one single dark-skinned model, I believe not a single Arab or blond guy.”
He also shared a clip of Dolce & Gabbana’s promotional video with the tagline, “Dolce & Gabbana unveils The Portrait of Man. A collection dedicated to the singular identity of every man.”
“The singular identity of every man. I’m sorry, what?” Medini exclaimed.
This isn't the first time Dolce & Gabbana has found itself at the center of controversy. In 2018, co-founder Stefano Gabbana found himself in the hot seat when he reportedly commented underneath IG photos of Selena Gomez, writing, “She’s so ugly” in Italian. That same year, the brand was accused of racism after it released a series of videos where an Asian model is seen struggling to eat Italian food with chopsticks.
